IDE not sending anything over serial port

I have my FPGA & C program running fine with the JTAG UART. When I switch over to the real UART, the IDE doesn't actually send what I type out COM1. I've verified that COM1 works OK ...

I totally don't know why but that's how I walked around the similar problem.

Open a HyperTerminal set to unused COM or if you have only one COM. Then Nios II file I/O will work on my side.

In case you have only one COM and you've tried opening HyperTerminal, you might want to use a serial monitor to check for more detail.
